A simple test is described in which the inhibition of uptake of [G‐ 3 H]thymidine into guinea‐pig ear keratinocytes in vitro , has been used as an assessment for cytotoxicity of a series of alkaloids. The alkaloids tested include emetine, colchicine, coronaridine, ajmaline, aricine, vincristine, leurosine, quinamine, 3‐epiquinamine, quinine, quinidinone, cichonidine, berberine and atropine.
